1. UL testing services are organized?
UL's Engineering Services Division is divided into product categories according to different departments. Its staff, including senior engineers and technical service personnel. Check the product structure, testing, evaluation results and the development of standards is only part of their job. UL also includes a site inspection to the factory site representative. Site representative is to mark the product complies with UL UL standard guarantee.
2. Who can submit products?
Product is usually caused by manufacturers or developers or other authorized agents, representatives and other entities submitted. When you submit a product, you can choose to appear in the published product catalog UL entity names (such as manufacturers, agents, or other licensed entity). Once decided that the name must appear on all meet UL standards and is ready to use the UL mark on the product.
3. When should submit the product?
It is best to submit the process of product development, product, and the sooner the better. Usually, UL engineers can pre-inspection of products to help you decide where to modify or rework. Although the pre-test can not replace the full product testing, UL mark can not be authorized to use, but it can save you costs. Pre-testing laboratory at any one UL, UL branches or carried in your production, and only takes one to two days time. (This mainly for companies with branches in foreign countries, no practical significance for other companies)
4. How to submit the product?
Customers can UL consulting help. This is an initial application for UL business is particularly important, because the customer consultant is a bridge connecting UL and customer. Customer Advisor responsibilities include:
• answer the question about UL
• guide customers to the right of the engineering department
• UL's management and customers work together to solve the problem
Submit products to UL for the first time the key is based on your convenience, sent a letter to clients in the UL American laboratory consultant or other parts of the branch manager. The letter should include the following information to help UL understand the scope and requirements of your test:
1. Describe the product and its appropriate use. All submitted product model or type, and explain the different product types or models of the similarities and differences between the points.
2. List all the parts used in products and materials - including manufacturer, model, quantity, dimensions, ratings, etc. - and whether recognized or UL listing. For all polymers, requiring that the material type name, manufacturer, model number (example: a thermoplastic material) and explain how they are applied to your product.
3. If you think that UL engineers can help to understand the design, structure or works, please include product-related schematics, wiring diagrams, design drawings and / or product photos.
4. All the instructions provided with the product, safety tips or installation instructions, and all appear on the packaging tag.
5. List of all the future you intend to use other materials, parts and components. This can be for you to use these materials in the future to reduce testing costs and time.
6. To provide the name of your authorized representative, the representative will receive the letter between UL, including the final test reports and invoices.
7. Providing production plant name and address of the product.
8. Provided in the corresponding UL product catalog published on the company name. Products should be sold in the name of the company (which may be different from the real manufacturer.)
9. Specify the new or updated product or other organizations you have been UL certified products have the same structure or properties. If the product has been certified by other certification bodies, please notify the UL. If possible, UL will try to use your previous test data or other UL Customer authorizes you to use the data to save you the cost and time.
5. Product testing how to get started?
Once the UL access to all the data you provide, UL can decide which department to test the product. UL's Engineering Department will:
• Develop test plans,
6. Roughly the end of the test of time
• & nbs [FS: PAGE] p; send the application form
At this time, if you have any period of time, you should notify the UL so that it is in the arrangement to be considered when the test of time. Once you return the application form and provide the appropriate prepayment, and UL's engineers received the corresponding test samples, UL engineers can begin to truly test your product.
6. What happens after the test?
Once the product end of the test project engineer will inform you whether your product UL requirements. Products that meet the UL requirements, the project engineer will prepare the test data based on a formal report. Test data will also be used to track service and tracking service as a fundamental part of the Regulations.
Tracking service rules is a detailed description of requirements by UL tested to UL product structure of the document. UL's field representatives will use this file as a guide to the implementation of the cyclical nature of the plant UL product testing.
UL engineers in the test report sent to you, you must agree to participate in UL's Follow-Up Services program. You must sign and return the track inspection reports to indicate that participate in the program. Typically, this document will be sent in the application form sent out a few days later.
If for any reason your product does not meet the requirements of UL, UL will notify you do not meet the requirements. If you choose to change the product and are willing to repeat the test, you can and the original project engineer responsible for your necessary items for re-testing.
If you test results, an understanding of the requirements of UL's decision, or if in doubt, UL complaints procedure so that you can make UL's administration to hear your views without having to worry about the relationship between impact and UL.
